  2. Outline ● The development of the Internet and the emergence of Web ● What is X Internet? ● X Internet advantages ● Related work & problems to be solved ● Conclusion

  3. WWW (World Wide Web) • In 1989 by CERN • Information in text, image, sound, video, etc. • As of the year 2001, the Internet hosted more than one hundred million computers and more than four hundred million users worldwide. • Internet VS. Web: Web is merely the interface, while the Internet is the wire that connects us to the Web

  4. The unrealized promise of the Internet • Web also exposed some limitations that fail to meet people’s expectations • Long response waiting time → hampering user experience • Limitations in its presentation methods (such as Client/Server-like user interface ) • Context-insensitive content & lack of interactivity (Rich real-time collaboration..)

  5. What is X-Internet? • The term “X Internet” dubbed in October, 2000 by a Forrester Research’s CEO, George F. Colony • ‘X’ in X-Internet stands for: 1) EXecutable Internet 2) EXtended Internet

  6. Executable Internet • Moves the locus of application execution closer to end-user devices • Smart code, such as Java and a distributed infrastructure • Reduce latency and enhance online users’ experience • “Intelligent applications that execute code near the user to create rich, engaging conversations via the Net.” • Minimalize unnecessary data exchanges

  7. Extended Internet - 1 • “Internet devices and applications that sense, analyze, and control the real world.” • Internet connectivity reaches beyond the traditional PC • Driven by ever cheaper sensors, smart tagging, and tracing technologies • Bridge the gap between the physical and online worlds

  8. X Internet advantages - 1 • X Internet incorporates Internet’s advantage with C/S’s advantage

  9. X Internet advantages - 2 • X internet provides easy to develop, C/S-like User Interface.

  10. X Internet advantages - 3 • X Internet reduces data transfer • Processing logic is distributed between the server and client, and this smart client device can process code locally • Downloaded executable applications are tiny as the size of a graphic file (approximately 15 Kilobytes) • X Internet can overcome these bandwidth limits

  11. X Internet advantages - 4 • Connects physical objects to the Internet via RFID, sensors and wireless networks • Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are used to identify product location • Wireless sensors detect and send condition information of the surroundings • Biometrics help to identify trusted individuals

  12. The X Internet connects digital to physical George Colony, Navi Radjou, Eroica Howard, “The X Internet: Leveling the Playing Field for Businesses in Developing Nations”

  13. Related work & problems to be solved - 1 • Standards : X internet does not have established standards yet (2007) • Built-in intelligence : Rapid deployment, self-management and easy reconfiguration • Advanced data interpretation : Data distribution and aggregation, data filtering and fusion, intelligence gathering, etc. • Exception-based control : Provide users with meaningful and seamless experience

  14. Related work & problems to be solved - 2 • Security and privacy : full control of what information is shared and when • IPv6 addressing : IPv4, only supports 4.3 billion IP addresses, IPv4 will soon become inadequate to handle the existing Internet

  15. Conclusion • Web has some problems: It does not best utilize limited telecommunications capacity. • Web is neither interactive nor real-world-aware enough for sophisticated interaction. • With its executable and extended properties, X Internet sounds promising.
